November 17, 2015

ATLANTA, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot®, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, today reported sales of $21.8 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, a 6.4 percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Comparable store sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were positive 5.1 percent, and comp sales for U.S. stores were positive 7.3 percent.

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were $1.7 billion, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $1.5 billion, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2014. For the third quarter of fiscal 2015, diluted earnings per share increased 17.4 percent from the same period in the prior year.

Third quarter of fiscal 2015 results include a pretax expense of $20 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to the Company’s 2014 data breach.

“During the quarter, we saw broad-based growth across our geographies and product categories, led by growth in transactions from both our DIY and Pro customers,” said Craig Menear, chairman, CEO and president. “I would like to thank our associates for their hard work and dedication to our customers.”

Updated Fiscal 2015 Guidance

Based on its year-to-date results and the outlook for the fourth quarter, the Company expects fiscal 2015 sales growth of approximately 5.7 percent, with comps of approximately 4.9 percent. The Company also expects fiscal 2015 diluted earnings per share to grow by approximately 14 percent to $5.36. This guidance assumes foreign exchange rates remain at current levels through the fourth quarter. The Company’s diluted earnings-per-share guidance includes the benefit of its intent to repurchase an additional $2 billion of shares in the fourth quarter, bringing total fiscal 2015 share repurchases to $7 billion.

On December 8 at 9 a.m. ET, the Company will hold an Investor and Analyst Conference. All presentations will be webcast live at ir.homedepot.com in the Events & Presentations section.

The Home Depot will conduct a conference call today at 9 a.m. ET to discuss information included in this news release and related matters. The conference call will be available in its entirety through a webcast and replay at earnings.homedepot.com.

Holiday Nesting Worth Investing: Poll Reveals Americans Don’t Prioritize Protecting Their Property During Hectic Season

November 17, 2015

0

NORTHBROOK, Illinois, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — By the time the turkeys, pumpkin pies and cranberries are devoured and the calendar flips from November to December, 75 percent of Americans will have already started checking items off their shopping lists, according to a new poll released today by Allstate. What many are not checking off, though, are simple steps to protect their homes – Allstate claims data shows many types of fire, theft and weather property claims increase during the holiday season.

The third annual Allstate Holiday Home Hazards poll revealed risky behaviors, such as leaving packages in the open, leaving doors unlocked, or falling asleep with the stove on, a candle lit or a fire still roaring. Despite 71 percent of adults acknowledging the increased risk of in-home incidents, just 37 percent take extra care to protect themselves. The poll also found many do not heed safety warnings while decorating the home – the dangers of which can be explored in a fun and safe way with Allstate’s interactive online Holiday Decorator experience.

“Shopping season is in full swing, and it’s easy to let holiday cheer cloud our better judgment when buying and handling our purchases,” said Terri Dalenta, senior vice president of property products at Allstate. “Between gifts, decorations, big family meals, traveling and other activities, Americans can spend quite a bit of money during the holidays. Allstate’s goal is to help customers and consumers protect what matters most and stay safe, happy and healthy while enjoying a hazard-free holiday season.”

Presents of Mind
Despite 84 percent of adults planning to spend money on gifts this holiday season – including a quarter (27 percent) who say they expect to spend more than last year – many do not take the necessary precautions to keep their holiday purchases out of harm’s way:

Two-thirds (67 percent) of adults admitted to having valuables delivered to their home while they’re not there.
Six-in-10 (60 percent) have stored or hidden valuables in their car.
Eight percent have experienced theft of packages, 6 percent have experienced car break-ins and 4 percent have had their home broken into during the holidays.
One-third (33 percent) of adults will be shipping a gift this year, but only about half (52 percent) of those gift-givers will notify the recipient that a gift is en route.

Curbing some of consumers’ risky gifting behaviors may help put a damper on some of the most common holiday claims:

Insurance Policy Type	Most Costly Claimⁱ	Median Cost of Claimⁱ	Increase During Holidaysⁱⁱ
Burglary
Homeowners	$132,000	$3,258	11%
Condo	$18,494	$2,011
Renters	$102,000	$2,323
Theft of Silverware/Flatware
Homeowners	$11,798	$2,500	23%
Condo	$7,171	$4,087
Renters	$7,805	$2,364
Property Stolen from Vehicle
Homeowners	$80,000	$2,188	17%
Condo	$22,782	$886
Renters	$18,706	$1,745

Allstate suggests that you not let preventable mistakes in securing your presents cloud your holidays with a few simple tips:

When in plain view, gifts and valuables serve as an invitation to thieves. Hide purchases in your car trunk when shopping and don’t display them in the window of your home. Put your valuables away before hosting people at your home.
When sending a package, ensure someone is aware of the gift’s anticipated arrival and will be home at the time of delivery.

Chestnuts, Open Fires and Dangerous Decor
Nearly half of Americans (46 percent) will spend money on decorations this holiday season, with 21 percent of those individuals expecting to spend more money than last year. Many people, however, admit safety is not always top of mind when it comes to decking their halls:

More than half (53 percent) of adults admit they have plugged too many lights into one outlet.
Four-in-10 (40 percent) say they have slipped or fallen in a holiday-related activity, such as decorating.
Twenty-nine percent have left a real Christmas tree without water for more than three days, increasing the risk of fire.
More than a quarter of people (28 percent) have left the house and/or fallen asleep with candles burning. And about a quarter (24 percent) said they have done the same with a fire burning in the fireplace.
Of the people who own a fireplace, just over a quarter (28 percent of wood-fireplace owners and 26 percent of gas-fireplace owners) have cleaned or inspected their fireplaces in the past year.

There’s a distinct trend with decoration-related holiday home hazards: fire. Some of the most prevalent hazards, according to Allstate’s claims data:

Insurance Policy Type	Most Costly Claimⁱ	Median Cost of Claimⁱ	Increase During Holidays ⁱⁱ
Fire Originated From Fireplace
Homeowners	$1,596,013	$10,324	196%
Condo	$154,761	$13,222
Renters	$34,798	$13,847
Burning Candles Caused Fire
Homeowners	$349,536	$14,038	63%
Condo	$70,665	$4,241
Renters	$38,511	$2,447
Electrical Fire
Homeowners	$1,059,926	$24,462	21%
Condo	$138,225	$6,304
Renters	$98,127	$15,010
Smoke From Fireplace
Homeowners	$93,772	$11,262	191%
Condo	$19,197	$3,939
Renters	$32,782	$4,564

Using Allstate’s Holiday Decorator to virtually hang your lights, garland and mistletoe is an interactive way to learn about keeping your home safe this season. Additionally, Allstate recommends a few easy ways to keep your holidays on track:

Have your chimney inspected and cleaned annually before the holidays begin to ensure it’s safe for use.
Never leave burning candles or fireplaces unattended, and keep trees or other flammable items away from fire.
Check holiday lights, throwing away any that are broken, and don’t overload the outlets. Only lights and extension cords specified for outdoor use should be used outside.

Table-stakes for “Tablescapes”
Cooking and entertaining are staples of the holiday season, and Americans are willing to splurge to create the perfect holiday spread – the poll revealed the most important consideration while shopping for that crowd-pleasing dinner is the quality of the ingredients. But as hungry families around the country wait for holiday hams to roast, 87 percent of cooks say they’re multitasking – which can prove to be a recipe for disaster:

More than half (58 percent) listen to music while cooking.
Forty-three percent cook multiple dishes at the same time.
About the same number (42 percent) watch TV or a movie while cooking.
Almost a third (32 percent) of people have left the house or fallen asleep while the stove was on.
Nine percent said a cooking mishap has previously resulted in smoke or fire.

Most people are aware of the risks associated with cooking and hosting a get-together. Even so, there is still work to be done on the prevention front, as evidenced by the claims data:

Insurance Policy Type	Most Costly Claimⁱ	Median Cost of Claimⁱ	Increase During Holidaysⁱⁱ
Kitchen Fire (Non-Grease)
Homeowners	$953,714	$12,145	10%
Condo	$117,871	$6,561
Renters	$73,010	$4,609
Wood or Coal Stove Fire
Homeowners	$760,432	$14,545	160%
Condo	N/A	N/A
Renters	$26,349	$13,584
Smoke Damage From Kitchen
Homeowners	$87,761	$8,482	16%
Condo	$47,615	$6,562
Renters	$26,747	$3,834
Fire Caused By Electrical Appliance
Homeowners	$483,507	$19,208	10%
Condo	$147,672	$4,455
Renters	$53,090	$7,198

Hosting the holidays can be stressful, but hosting hazards could be a game-ender. Allstate provides ways to be proactive this season:

Before the holidays, install new batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure that family members can locate and operate fire extinguishers.
Be careful in the kitchen. Keep a close watch on cooking food and never leave the stove unattended for too long.
Don’t do too much while cooking. Try to focus on one thing at a time, and enlist help if you need to take on multiple tasks.

Travel Trip-Ups
One of the priciest purchases for many this season will be holiday travel. Sixty percent of Americans plan to spend at least one night away from home this year, with four-in-10 (41 percent) travelers planning to spend more on travel than last year. The poll revealed some risky behaviors that could contribute to home losses while away:

Half of Americans have left a door unlocked for a friend or family member. About the same amount (52 percent) have hidden a key for a friend or family member.
More than a third (35 percent) of adults say they have posted about travel plans on social media, including 58 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 34.
Less than a quarter (23 percent) frequently set a timer for lights in their houses while traveling.
Only 17 percent frequently shut off the water in their homes to prevent leaks or floods, and just 16 percent frequently leave a faucet dripping to prevent freezing pipes while traveling.

The holidays are busy enough as is, but when travel is thrown in, things can get even more hectic. Allstate claims data reveals upticks from colder temperatures that could wreak more havoc:

Insurance Policy Type	Most Costly Claimⁱ	Median Cost of Claimⁱ	Increase During Holidaysⁱⁱ
Burst Pipes From Freezing
Homeowners	$1,004,968	$5,833	722%
Condo	$382,510	$4,445
Renters	$66,943	$2,596
Damage From Ice Dam Build-up
Homeowners	$209,870	$1,832	23%
Condo	$13,071	$1,895
Renters	$34,582	$920
Missing Property From Garage
Homeowners	$5,919	$1,848	51%
Condo	N/A	N/A
Renters	$2,684	$1,711
Property Damage From Weight of Snow/Ice On Roof
Homeowners	$318,778	$1,886	64%
Condo	$6,743	$2,206
Renters	$15,609	$653

Allstate recommends taking extra precautions before you leave if you’re enjoying the holidays away from home to help guard against these hazards:

Whether it’s “check-ins” using geo-location services, travel plan updates, or even photos uploaded while at a holiday party, people may be unknowingly giving today’s “digital thieves” greater insight into the contents of your car or home, and the times when you’re away from them.
If kitchen or bathroom pipes are located near exterior walls, leave the cabinet doors open to help circulate warmer air around the pipes.
In order to prevent water from freezing and increasing pressure on pipes, leave taps slowly dripping if extremely cold weather is anticipated during travel.
During heavy snowfall, hire a professional to keep your home’s roof and gutters clear.
Make sure your attic is properly ventilated – the colder the attic, the less melting and refreezing on your roof.

“While some hazards are hard to predict, we often see jumps in certain claims during the holiday season,” Allstate agency owner Frank Torres said. “Part of my job as a trusted advisor to Allstate customers is to help them protect against avoidable hazards, and during the holidays just a few simple steps can make a world of difference in keeping your home safe from harm.”

Former Surgeon General Marks 5th Annual World Prematurity Day

ARLINGTON, Virginia, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The United States premature birth rate has declined over the past eight years, but not for all. Many communities, as well as specific racial and ethnic groups, continue to suffer from the tragic and costly consequences of double-digit rates of premature birth. The March of Dimes today unveiled a plan to focus more attention and resources on these “high population and/or high-burden” areas with the goal of reducing the nation’s preterm birth rate to 5.5 percent by 2030.

“As a family doctor, I’ve seen the terrible impact of premature birth,” said Dr. Benjamin, who operates a rural health clinic in Alabama. “It can cause life-long disabilities, and it is the number one killer of babies. This March of Dimes detailed plan to understand and prevent preterm birth is critical, and when we succeed, it will spare an estimated 1.3 million fewer babies the health consequences of a premature birth and could potentially save about $70 billion in health and societal costs.”

The goal of reducing the nation’s preterm birth rate to 5.5 percent by 2030 has been endorsed by the March of Dimes Prematurity Campaign partners. In addition to the March of Dimes, members include: the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP); the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG); the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP); the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO); the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN); and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).

Dr. Benjamin presented the March of Dimes “Prematurity Campaign Roadmap” at the March of Dimes Prematurity Prevention Conference in Arlington, VA, which brought together public health officials, doctors, nurses and other stakeholders to discuss the latest interventions and quality improvement programs. The plan’s goal is to lower the national preterm birth rate to 5.5 percent by 2030, closing the geographic and racial gaps identified in the March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card issued earlier this month. The Prematurity Campaign Roadmap outlines specific interventions health care providers and officials can take to prevent preterm birth.

The United States’ preterm birth rate was 9.6 percent in 2014, according to the National Center for Health Statistics and ranks among the worst of high-resource countries, the March of Dimes says. Worldwide, 15 million babies are born preterm, and nearly one million die due to complications of an early birth. Babies who survive an early birth often face serious and lifelong health problems, including breathing problems, jaundice, vision loss, cerebral palsy and intellectual delays.

The first phase of the March of Dimes plan will focus on six states or US territories with the highest rates of preterm birth, and include Puerto Rico, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, which have rates above 11.5 percent. Phase I also includes Florida and Texas, which have large numbers of preterm babies, each with a rate of about 10 percent.

Phase II of the plan calls for bringing attention to an additional 10 states with more than 100,000 births each year, including California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

The March of Dimes leads the World Prematurity Network, (WPN), a global coalition of consumer and parent groups working together to raise awareness and prevent premature birth in their countries. Through World Prematurity Day and other joint efforts, members call for action to prevent preterm birth and improve care for babies born too soon. Nearly 100 countries participated in World Prematurity Day 2014 with building and landmark lightings, outdoor events, petitions, and other demonstrations of support.

The March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. For the latest resources and information, visit marchofdimes.org or nacersano.org.

NY Non-Profit Helps Hispanic/Latino Seniors Manage Diabetes

November 16, 2015

0

LAKE SUCCESS, New York, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The IPRO-led Atlantic Quality Innovation Network (AQIN), the Medicare-funded healthcare quality improvement organization for New York, is scoring major gains in enrolling Hispanic and Latino Medicare beneficiaries in free Everyone with Diabetes Counts (EDC) workshops in and around New York City.

EDC workshops are led by certified community health workers and emphasize peer learning – classes are open to all seniors and cover everything from symptom management, exercise and healthy eating, to strategies for working more effectively with healthcare providers. With support from the New York City Department for the Aging’s network of 300 senior centers, AQIN graduated over 3,000 Medicare beneficiaries from the program in 2014 — with a total of 6,500 graduates in New York since IPRO began offering the program in 2008.

Studies find the prevalence of total diabetes (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) among all Hispanic/Latino groups is roughly 16.9 percent for both men and women, compared to 10.2 percent for non-Hispanic whites. Prevalence rises dramatically with age, reaching more than 50 percent for Hispanic/Latino women (overall) by the time they reach age 70 and 44.3 percent for men aged 70-74.

Overall, nearly one-third of adults 65 years and older in the U.S. have diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health. Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness, kidney failure, and amputations in adults and a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. AQIN is using November’s American Diabetes Month to promote the availability of the free six-week workshops.

“The program empowers Medicare beneficiaries living with diabetes to take an active role in their health,” according to Janice Hidalgo, IPRO’s Director of Patient and Family Engagement Programs. “When you see beneficiaries transform and adopt a new attitude towards life, you can’t help but feel that we are the lucky ones for being part of their journey to a healthier life,” Hidalgo concluded.

AQIN is a Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO), part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ QIO Program. QIN-QIOs bring Medicare beneficiaries, providers, and communities together in data-driven initiatives that increase patient safety, make communities healthier, better coordinate post-hospital care, and improve clinical quality. To learn more about the free classes, visit www.atlanticquality.org or call IPRO at 516-326-7767.

This material was prepared by the Atlantic Quality Innovation Network (AQIN), the Medicare Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization for New York State, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia, under contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Since their first album, the music of the Dixie Chicks has stirred emotions in fans across the world making them one of the most biggest and most influential bands of our time. Not just “big for a country band” or “big for a big female band,” the Dixie Chicks are a multi-platinum selling act in North America, Europe and Australia. They are one of a mere handful of acts with multiple albums achieving “diamond” status (meaning sales over 10 million copies) – both WIDE OPEN SPACES (1998) and FLY (1999) hit that stratospheric landmark – and over the years have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won thirteen Grammy Awards. Their on-stage reputation has helped them sell over $100 million worth of concert tickets while outspoken songs like “Goodbye, Earl” and “Not Ready To Make Nice” made it clear that this power trio played by nobody’s rules.
